My 2 year nearly 3 year old daughter is severely sight impaired and has been turned down for DLA because “all children of this age need high levels of attention and care”.
Is this right??
It says that they acknowledge when she’s older her needs will increase so do I just wait until she’s older to apply again and if so, what age is old enough?
My daughter wakes 7-8 times a night and needs us physically touching to reassure her etc. She finds lots of things very difficult and I spend a lot more time doing stuff to help her than I do her twin. She needs more help keeping safe, more reassurance and everything just takes longer.
I first applied when she was 8 months as her play therapist suggested it and helped with the forms and we got turned down and I accepted all 8 month olds probably need more help so was hard, but now she’s mobile it’s completely different which is why I tried again.
